For those wondering how a parking fine can be 100K, it’s actually many smaller fines:
“However, one of the cars has to be parked slightly over the grass in Martinez’s yard, in violation of a local property-maintenance ordinance, which has led to a $250 fine every day since 2021”
That’s shitty. In my town we aren’t allowed to park on the “yard” like in that town but here all she would have had to do is put a strip of gravel where the tire ran over and it’s legal.
But if it’s a four car driveway and they have four cars why don’t the cars fit?
Because American cars get more massive each year.
They don’t get wider. They have to fit in the same lanes that were there 30 years ago. They’ve only gotten longer and taller
Don’t live in Florida
Always good advice. Never live in an hoa while you are at it.
By my math, $250/day for every day since Dec 31, 2021 would be $380,000 which could mean that they actually tracked each individual infraction (i.e. no fees on days they weren’t home) which means there’s zero chance of contesting this. Curious how much warning she got along the way before the fines really stacked up.
Also really curious what all the libertarians moving to Florida think of this.
